Viano MO Bacter Organic Lawn Fertiliser & Moss Killer - 20kg

Product Information

I’ve also used MO Bacter in a professional capacity when I worked for a landscaping firm, and I’ve recommended it to another firm that cleared lawn moss around headstones that were at risk of damage from iron sulphate (a popular alternative). Hosszú hatóidejűek. A szerves és ásványi alkotók természetazonos lebomlási ciklusa teszi lehetővé a talajban az egyenletes tápanyagellátást 60-90 napon keresztül.Kijuttatás időszaka: tavasztól késő ősziga vegetáció teljes időszakában, 5-8 C talajhőmérsékletig. We review the content yearly to ensure it’s still correct and relevant and any products we recommend are still on sale. Application method, rate and timing: MO Bacter can be applied by hand or spreader at any time between late March and late September, but I’ve found it most effective during the growing season in spring or autumn when the lawn is moist and warm but never dry, scorched or too cold (must be above 10°c). Based on my test results, one 10kg bag should cover around 60-100 square metres of lawn, depending on the amount of moss present. A 20kg bag should treat 120-200 square metres.

In 2022, I tested MO Bacter on a patch of mossy lawn, here’s how I applied it and the results I saw: If your soil is heavy, use a manual or mechanicalhollow-tined aeratorin autumn,every three or four years, which removessmall plugs of soil. Brush a top-dressing mix into the holes, comprisingthree parts sandy loam, six parts sharp sand and one part peat-free multi-purpose compost,to improve drainage –see our lawn carevideo(aeration and top-dressing start at3:53 mins) These products can be applied from March to October when temperatures are above 15°C (59°F). Theyrequire wetting before they become active.Mow the lawn short before application andwait seven to ten days before mowing again.There are several types of moss that grow in lawns. These are usually coarse, loose, green or yellowish-green tufts between the grass, but can form densely matted tufts. In the case of Polytrichum, it can even resemble a small forest of miniature Christmas trees. MO Bacter is best used in the spring, or early summer, to eliminate moss and late summer or early autumn to stifle its winter development. If the soil iscompacted,use a garden fork to spike the lawn or a mechanical aerator –see how it’s done in our lawn carevideo(aeration starts at3:53 mins) Viano MO Bacter is an organo-­ mineral fertiliser for lawns with an indirect action against mosses. For best results, it is recommended to apply Mo Bacter Organic Lawn Fertiliser & Moss Killer in the spring, or early summer to remove moss. To keep moss away in winter, apply the product in late summer or early autumn.

Also, have you ever been annoyed at the stain on your patio or driveway after treating your lawn with normal fertiliser? You now have no need to worry as MO Bacter Organic Fertiliser does not stain stonework, patios or paths - a massive bonus!

I applied MO Bacter by hand in April, just as the temperature was warming up and there was enough moisture to keep the bacteria active. Another advantage of Mo Bacter being an organo-mineral fertiliser is that it is harmless to animals and wildlife. I started using MO Bacter several years ago as I have a north-facing garden that is prone to moss growth, and I was fed up with raking and scarifying the lawn, which often damaged it. As little sunlight gets into my garden, I found the grass took a long time to recover from aggressive raking and scarifying. By June, much of the moss was gone, and the grass seed had germinated and was establishing itself well. At DIY Gardening, we always aim to create content that our readers will find helpful and where possible, we use photos to prove we’ve used the products or techniques we recommend.When more than one application is made, it is best to apply the second spreading at 90 degrees to the first. The best way to control excess lawn moss is to improve the growing conditions of the grass, so it becomesmore vigorous and dense, outcompeting the moss. Even better, MO Bacter gets the seal of approval from the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS), so if you want to make highly recommended, greener choices for your garden, you’re in good hands with this safe and natural moss killer.

These claim to achieve good control of moss, as well as feeding the lawn – products include VianoMO Bacter Organic Lawn Fertiliser, Neudorff Organic CleanLawn, VitaxMoss Remover No Rake and Miracle-Gro Evergreen No Rake. By early May, some of the moss had turned a light brown colour and was thinning out, so I overseeded with a sprinkling of new grass seed for shaded gardens. Moss raked out of lawns can be added to your compost heap. It can be slow to rot in large quantities, so mix it with other ingredients(ideally four times the volume of the moss). You can store and add it gradually as other material becomes available. As moss is very widespread, any spores that survive the composting process won’t add significantly to the risk of moss forming in your garden.
